Loyalty & Leadership. These examples of leadership sum up to about this: Joseph Taylor Robinson is a fine, hard-boiled top sergeant, always on the job, never sparing himself, short on finesse, but long on loyalty. Gruff, bad-tempered, wrinkled-faced, he has the voice of an angry bull and an equal amount of courage. But when it comes to wheedling buck privates who can no longer be driven, to using astute finagling to bring men into line, then Franklin Roosevelt has to rely on men like Mississippi's artful Pat Harrison and shrewd Vice President Garner...
...year-old Jane Withers, Fox's latest bid for prepuberty adulation, is all that Hollywood might suppose a popular child actress should not be. Her round irregular face is almost entirely surrounded by a mop of straight black hair. Her snub nose screws up like a Boston bull pup's. Her plumpish figure looks far better in East Side gingham than in dainty drawing-room voile. When so directed, she can be as unladylike in speech as a baseball umpire. These qualities indicate a career that should remain top-notch long after Shirley Temple has lost her teeth...
...insinuated into print. His wife patiently worked the mimeograph machine, licked the stamps, kept what records there were.

I wouldn't trust a single one of you any farther than I could throw a bull by the tail. If you think you have an inch of ground to stand on, cut out the shadow-boxing and get this case before the U. S. Supreme Court. I'll wager it will pluck your FDIC so close that, in comparison to its nudity, Hugh Johnson...
...prime trader nowadays is bull-necked John Llewellyn Lewis of United Mine Workers. With United Mine Workers' contracts about to expire simultaneously with the late NRA on June 16, Miner Lewis has been brewing a big bituminous strike to keep wages up (TIME, June 10). In wholehearted sympathy with him are most of the Northern bituminous mine operators, who will continue to pay high wages if the Government will continue to help hold coal prices up. Miner Lewis, abetted by the owners, has been working a trade with the Administration whereby he would call off his coal strike...
